Erstwhile - Steeling Of A Soul LP ABM-51

In the black crucible of despair, Steeling of a Soul tempers anguish into frozen resolve. Erstwhile’s 2023 EP is a bleak rite of passage, four hymns carved from shadow and snow, where each note drips with the weight of a spirit forced to harden or perish.

With serrated melodies and solemn rhythms, the band traverses a charred emotional landscape: grief, fury, and quiet defiance intertwine like smoke in a collapsing cathedral. This is music for the moment the heart goes silent, not from peace, but from necessity; a soul purged.

Steeling of a Soul is both wound and weapon. An elegy for innocence, a testament to endurance. For those who’ve faced the frost and walked forward, forged but never whole.
